CAS 504-15-4: Orcinol

Description: Orcinol, with the CAS number 504-15-4, is an organic compound classified as a dihydroxy derivative of toluene. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and has a characteristic aromatic odor. Orcinol is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, which facilitates its use in various chemical applications. It is primarily known for its role in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as a reagent in organic chemistry. The compound exhibits two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located on the benzene ring, which contribute to its reactivity and ability to form hydrogen bonds. Orcinol can undergo oxidation to yield orcin, and it can also participate in various substitution reactions due to the presence of its hydroxyl groups. Additionally, orcinol has been studied for its potential antioxidant properties and its applications in the cosmetic industry. Safety data indicates that orcinol should be handled with care, as it may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact.
